Phehlukwayo Metal, located in Cape Town, South Africa, has built a solid reputation as a reliable manufacturer and supplier of top-notch stainless steel products, including the Stainless Steel 316 Hex Bar/Rod. Known for its precision engineering, durability, and outstanding resistance to corrosion, this product meets international standards for a variety of applications in industrial, marine, and architectural fields. Phehlukwayo Metal is dedicated to excellence, employing advanced manufacturing techniques, rigorous quality control, and prompt service. With a strong emphasis on customer satisfaction and dependability, the company has positioned itself as a premier source for high-quality stainless steel materials in Southern Africa.
The Stainless Steel 316 Hex Bar/Rod is made from an austenitic chromium-nickel-molybdenum alloy, featuring about 16–18% chromium, 10–14% nickel, and 2–3% molybdenum. This unique composition significantly boosts its resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion, especially in chloride environments. It boasts impressive strength, toughness, and ductility, even when exposed to high temperatures. Its mechanical properties include a tensile strength of around 515 MPa, yield strength of 205 MPa, and an elongation of 40%. Plus, its non-magnetic nature and excellent weldability make it a fantastic choice for demanding environments that require high performance and corrosion resistance.

The Stainless Steel 316 Hex Bar/Rod finds its way into a wide range of industries thanks to its remarkable corrosion resistance and strength. It’s commonly used in marine equipment, chemical processing plants, pharmaceutical machinery, food and beverage processing, and architectural structures. Additionally, you’ll find it in fasteners, pump shafts, valve components, and heat exchangers that are exposed to saline or acidic conditions. Its ability to endure harsh environments makes it perfect for both onshore and offshore applications. Phehlukwayo Metal’s expertly crafted 316 Hex Bars/Rods promise long-lasting performance, reliability, and adherence to strict international engineering and quality standards.
SS 316 Hex Bars/Rods are highly resistant to corrosion, especially in chloride-rich environments like marine settings. Their durability against pitting, crevice corrosion, and stress corrosion cracking makes them ideal for marine and chemical applications. Additionally, their high-temperature resistance and strength enhance performance in harsh conditions.
SS 316 Hex Bars/Rods are commonly used in industries such as marine, chemical processing, pharmaceuticals, food processing, and aerospace. Their superior corrosion resistance protects against rust, pitting, and chemical damage, making them ideal for harsh environments, ensuring longevity, reliability, and reduced maintenance costs in critical applications.
SS 316 Hex Bars/Rods can be easily welded and machined, but precautions are needed. During welding, pre-heating and post-weld heat treatment are recommended to prevent cracking. Use appropriate filler materials for optimal strength. For machining, ensure proper tooling to avoid work hardening and maintain smooth surfaces.
We provide products that come with both mill test certificates and third-party test certificates, ensuring the highest standards of quality and compliance.
